Fred, Roberto & Paul, Thank you for your help.
I now have a flashing light.. :-)
I don't fully understand how but there must be some glimmer of understanding
to get it to work.
I added;
<animation>
<name>RedLightOn</name>
<object-name>RedLight.3</object-name>
</animation>
<animation>
<name>RedLightOff</name>
<object-name>RedLight.3</object-name>
</animation>
<animation>
<type>timed</type>
<object-name>RedLightOn</object-name>
<object-name>RedLightOff</object-name>
<use-personality type="bool">true</use-personality>
<branch-duration-sec>
<random>
<min>0.9</min>
<max>1.1</max>
</random>
</branch-duration-sec>
<branch-duration-sec>
<random>
<min>0.9</min>
<max>1.1</max>
</random>
</branch-duration-sec>
</animation>
above the section that turns it on at night and now I have a light that
flashes at the top of the mast at night and none during the day.
I suppose I better get on and read this Blender manual... :-}
Thanks again for your help

You mean the scaling based on distance that use an interpolation table.
